Brain Farts and Greenery

Duh me. I completely blanked on explaining the photo from April 28th's entry (also the one above) and big-upping our homegirl Eliza, the designer behind Graft: epiphytes for the urban environment.

Soundbite version- basically, Eliza makes variations of these felt pocket planters meant for kids to install on "existing urban infrastructural elements (chain-link fences, sign posts, streetlight poles, etc.)" that hold epiphytes (air plants) and the project's intended to "increase urban children's environmental awareness." We're all about anything that makes the city greener, and you can roll your eyes like we're all hippies, but don't front like you don't smile when you see plants (Eliza is suspiciously from the Bay Area though). For more info, hit her up at eliza.axelsonchidsey@gmail.com and ask about the illy chairs she makes.
